It so happened, on one occasion, a man died possessed of a considerable fortune in bills, bonds, notes, &e., which he kept in a portfolio under his pillow, which on his decease !Wm& Cure proceeded while the body was still warm to appropriate to himeelf. This the heir na turally resisted, and kicked the Priest down stairs. The Cure immediately preferred a complaint to the Inquisition. The Holy Fathers ordered the off:nder to pay a fine of ten francs ! and declared that in future if any one should dare to push his irreverence so far as to kill the Priest, he should be fined t s enty After this decision few persons attempted to enforce so ticklish a law. A serious accident occurred -at Eastbourne this week to Sir R. Baker, who, while enjoying himself with the beauty of the scenery around, sat down on a rail, placed to defend the watercourse near the terraee, when, after some time (whe ther from any slight affection of the head, or from accident, we cannot say), he fell backward and cut his head and face very seriously, the watercourse being paved with rough stones, and the distance he fell being considerably below the road. Dr. Sinnock, who lives on the spot, gave his' assistance promp'ly, and the gentleman is considered to be doing very well. Another accident happened here a few days ago. Two ladies belonging to the family of Lady Tufton were out airing in a carriage driven by a postilion, who was rather too young for the charge committed to his care, and the road being ob strueted by a donkey, which was being unladen at a tradesman's in South-street, the bty was unable to pull up, and the horse knocked down the donkey and ran over him ; fortunately the carriage was not overturned, although the horses' knees were broken, and the ass very much hurt. The ladies, however, as might naturally be expected, were very much alarmed, and one w ‘s taken into the New Inn, insensible, being an invalid at the time, and, we are sorry to learn, that she remains very ill, and unable to leave her room.—Sussex Express. The self-styled Radicals of Manchester seem re solved, by their folly and violence, to bring Radicalism into contempt. A meeting was held in the Manor Court Room, on Monday evening, to form an institution to provide reading. rooms and lectures for the working classes. But it seems there had been a meeting elsewhere of the Feilden class of Radicals, who, flushed with extravagant notions of their own power, resolved to go in a body and overturn their proceed ings. They succeeded in breaking up the meeting by means not much better than ill-brought-up lads use when they blow the fumes of assefcetida through a key-hole. It. has been stated that Mr. Thomas Feilden was a party to this disgrace ful irruption of savages, and that his motive was to vent his s. leen against Mr. Brotherton, who, although an avowed Radical himself, is not, it seems, out according to the high Todmorden standard. We know not how far Mr. Feilden was concerned in the affair; but we know that many who have observe.' bis late conduct fully believe that he was the insti gator cf the outrage. At all events the disgraced actors are known to be joints of his tail. —Manchester Times. The Bristol Mercury states that a system of Old Bailey cross-examinations never hitherto tolerated. has bean adopted by the Tories, with the view of bullying their fellow citizens out of their franchises; and when the irrelevant na ture of the mode pursued is objected to, the dictum of the Mayor is "cross examine in any way you may thnik pro per :" the most unfounded imputations are indulged in, and the Mayor even joins in them, and when the spirit of indig nation resists the injustice, he tells the insulted person that his conduct " will injure his party." ADELPHI THEATRE—It would appear that this little theatre is to maintain its character by the nightly enact ment of a " seena." On Friday night, after the Bay - aderes had gone off iith a sprinkling of " the Michaelmas-day remi niscence," My Grandfather's Will succeeded, and in the last scene b ut one of tine first act, Mts. Honey, having left t he stage, kept the audience waiting after the change of scene until there was a second instalment of " hiss" front the exci table part of the house. Mr. Yates then once more came on, with the shrug which he keeps upon his shoulders for all such occasions, and spoke a speech much as follows :—" Ladies and gentlemen, —may I claim your sympathy? and I am sure I shall have it. lam extremely sorry to inform you that Mrs. Honey, on leaving the stage and passing by one of the side wings (cur space being very contracted), had the misfortune—( Loud cries of "order," and great sensation) —to upset a bottle of ink 1 over her dress.—( Bursts of cachinnation.) L. dies and gentlemen—gentlemen particu larly! although some symptoms of disapprobation may have been expressed towards our darker beauties, yet I am sure Mrs. Honey may claim your indulgence."—( Roars of laughter and great apslause.) Mrs. Honey subsequently ap peared in costume of black velvet—rather an ink-eubus by the way, upon so slight a figure. LEIPSIC AND DRESDEN RAILWAYS.—By ad vices Irene Leipsic, of Sept. 25, it appears that, in addition to the f.,rty-one English miles now in operation, there are 22 additional miles of the Leipsic and Dresden Railway finished, and the rails laid, but the opening of which is retarded by the wotks of " le grand pont" over the Elbe, and the tunnel at Oberau. Toese works, however, are nearly completed, and the whole line from L 'ipsic to Dresden will be open p e s d sse in ng t e h r e s spring. We have before adverted to the large amount of traffic upon the Belgian, French, and other foreign railways, but that upon the Leipsic and Dresden line certainly excites aston i s hment. The following shows the number of which have been carried upon it in nine days, during the fair of Leipsic, average being 2,550 per day, or 464 each voy age : —Travellers from Dresden and from Leip 15, six voyages, 4,603 persons; 16th, four voyages, 1,541 per _ sons ; 17th, four voyages, 1,427 persons; 18th, four voyages, 1,690 persons; 19th, five voyages, 1,862 persons; 20th, six voyages, 1,930 persons ; 21st, four voyages, 1,644 persons ; 22d, four voyages, 1,935 persons; 23d, seven voyages, 3.762 persons; total, nine days, 44 voyages, 20,412 persons —Rail way Times. PUFFING EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday last a baker in Blackfriars-road stuck up an advertisement to the effect th •t he had just received 1,000 sacks of superior French fleur, and that in the evening be should be prepared to sell 4,000 four-pound loaves at sevenpence each, the present price being tenpence, and that he should give back to every pur chaser of a loaf a penny. A neighbouring baker at once op posed him, and offered to give to every purchaser of three loaves a threepenny pi: ce of the new coin. The road towards evening in the neighbourhood of these rival shops was like a fair. It was impossible to supply the waiting crowds suffi ciently fast, and at half-past nine numbers went away exceed iegly disapeointed, it having been stated that the whole quell toy was sold. It was alleged that this was for a wager of 1,0001 Where will this system of puffing end? On Saturday last the Charlotte, of this port, having nearly taken in her whole cargo of coals, the trimmers went ou board to finish their work. They were six in number, and on entering the boll, having with them lighted candles, an explosion of foul air took place, which dreadfully burned the whole party. On Monday Joseph Lowry, one of the sufferers, died from the eff•cts of the explosion, and three other men, now in the hospital, are not expected to sur,ive. The circum tance o fsulphuretted hydrogen accumulating in the hold of a vessel is a very extraordinary fact; it is supposed to have arisen from the hetchee being down during the night. The claw received no injury, nor wits the vessel at all damaged by the explosion.—Sunderland .Beacon, DINNER TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT THE TOWN-lIALL, LII771P00; ( Abr'dged from the Livrrponl Albion.) The Mayor had issued cards of invitation to about seventy gentlemen, including all shades of politics, to meet Lord John Russell at dinner, at the Town-hall, on Wednesday. About half-past six the company began to muster, but it was not until after seven that the party sat down. After the toasts of " The Queen," " The Royal Family," " The Army and Navy," " The Lord-Lieutenant of the County," &c. The MAYOR rose to propose the health of a distinguished Member of Her Majesty's Government, who was that day his guest, and one to whom the country owed so much. He begged to give " the heath of Lord John Russell and her Majesty's Ministers.r —( Applause.) Lord J. Resszete felt highly honoured, both by the manner in which the toast had been given and by the manner in which it had been received. He enlarged at some length upon the satisfaction which he had derived from his visit to Liverpool, his admiration of all that he bad seen, and her importance as one of the great marts of commerce. He alluded to the recent improvements in the communications from one part of the country to the other, and hoped that this annihilation of time and space, this bringing of all in terests into contact with each other, would tend to harmonize all, and bring them to act together. He would not, he said, before such a party, wander into the field - of politics, but there was one topic connected with his own department upon which he might be allowed to dwell for a few moments. He alluded to the public meetings which were now in the course of being held in various parts of the country. There were some, per haps, wh o wou ld put down such meetings. But such was not his opinion, nor that of the Government with which he acted. lie thought the people had a right to free discussion. It was free discussion which elicited truth. They had a right to meet. If they bad no grievances, common sense would speedily come to the rescue, and put an end to these meet ings. It was not from free discussion, it was not from the unchecked declaration of public opinion, that Governments had anything to fear. There was fear when men were driven by force to secret combinations. There was the fear—there was the danger, and not in free discussion. He then alluded, with the greatest satisfaction, to the re duction of the item of secret service money which had been effected since he entered the Home-office, and concluded a most effective speech by expressing a hope that much would soon be done to raise the people, in a moral point of view, by an enlightened and religious education. He had visited the Corporation schools in the course of that very day, and had witnessed the religious instruction of the children with the greatest pleasure. . His Lordship then sat down amidst great applause. His LORDSHIP again rose to propose " The health of the Mayor of Liverpool." The MAYOR returned thanks in an eloquent speech. He said he had on his left hand a Nobleman who was well known to the country as the friend of all that was liberal and enlight ened, and one who was deeply connected with the agricultural interests of the country. He would give " Lord Ebrington and the agricultural interest." Lord EBRINGTON congratulated the company upon having in that room one who had done so much fur the country as the Home Secretary, and expressed the high satisfaction which be derived from his visit to Liverpool. The MAYOR observed, that there was another member of the Government present to whose urbanity of manners and kind attention on all matters of business connected %Nab Liver pool he could bear ample witness. He begged to propose " the health of Mr. Stanley, the Secretary for the Treasury." Mr. STANLEY returned thanks in a very short but very elo quent speech. He spoke emphatically of his desire to meet the wishes of the inhabitants of Liverpool in any matter which fell within his department. Mr. Stanley referred to the calumnies with which the Corporation had been assailed, from interesteal motives, on the subject of the schools, and expressed his satis faction with what he had that day seen—especially the reli gious instruction of the children. He lisped that the day of misrepresentation had gone by, and that the spirit of charity and kindly feeling, which, we were told, formed so important a feature in our holy religion, would once more prevail. Some other healths being drunk, the company left the din ing• room, and adjourned to tea and coffee. After about are hour spent ia conversation in the drawing-room, they broke up at a little after eleven o'clock. The Liverpool Chronicle says:—" We are pleased to hear in all quarters that Lord John Russell made a most favourable impression upon the minds of all who held any opportunity of conversing with and hearing him during his late visit. And of those who have so informed us, many Reformers, discon tented beyond measure at the late Session of Parliament, ap proached him in no mood to be easily pleased, but, neverthe less, they also left him with the conviction that he is yet unshaken in his firm attachment to the people and their cause. We rejoice to hear this, especially from witnesses who were more inclined to cavil and to criticise than to bestow the slightest portion of applause." A letter of the 11th ult., from Constantinople, is given by the Smyrna Journal. It quotes recent letters from Tabriz, according to which Mr. M‘Neill was still expected there. The monthly courier of the British embassy had been sent on the Bth to London with despatches from Lord Pon sonby and Mr. M.Neill. A Turkish female• is stated to bare eloped with an English gentleman, and, on being claimed by her husband, to have refused to recognise him, on the plea that she had become English by the same right which permits a European to embrace the Mussulman faith. All the mea sures taken by the husband to recover his kst rib are said to have been attended.with no result. On Thursday Elizabeth Ann Kirk died suddenly, after having eaten some of the berries of the deadly night shade. The poison produced the most acute inflammation of the stomach and bowels, death immediately following these symptoms.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. SUDDEN DEATHS.--The number of sudden deaths in Edinburgh of late has been most startling. In addition to the death of Bailie Haig, of Lochrin, late member of the Town Council, who expired suddenly on a shooting excursion, we have now to record the death of Mr. John Turnbull, Chamberlain of the City. Mr. Turnbull rose on Thursday in his usual he•ilth ; but while in the act of dressing he was seized with an attack of apoplexy, under which he lingered till yesterday morning, when he expired. Mr. Turnbull held the office of City Chamberlain for many years, and was much respected.—Edinburgh Courant. On Monday night, the wife of a bailiff', residing at North Shoebury, in this county, eloped from her husband's house with a labourer working on the same farm, taking with her most of the cash in hand, amounting to about 401. ; they steamed it to London. The husband having got informotion of their line of route, followed them to town, where he ob tained the assistance of an officer, who found the frail one se creted under the bed of her seducer. On searching the man, 141. in gold, and 20/. in notes, were found upon him. The interesting party were brought down to this place on Wednes day, in custody, and the man was fully committed for trial by Mr. Lodwick, on a charge of stealing the money. The lady has done what ladies similarly situated do—gone home to her relations to repent of her bad propensities.-- Chelmsford Chron. STATE OF HEALTH IN THE METROPOLIS.— We regret to state, that the small-pox has been for some time very prevalent in various parts of the metropolis, and exceed ingly fatal. The bills of mortality for the past week mention 45 deaths as owing to that disease alone, and, we have beard from several registrars that they have had a very large propor tion of deaths to register from that cause. The hills of mor tality give an increase of 560 deaths upon the past week, prin cipally attributed to age and debility consumption, convulsions, and small-pox. —Observer. On Monday last an Irishman, named Salangher, and his wife Ann, were examined before the Bradford Magis, trates on suspicion having poisoned their infant child. It will be remembered that the dead body of a child a few weeks old was found about a month ago between Kitkstall and Leeds, and that when an inquest was held thereon before Mr. Black burn, coroner for Leeds, Mr. Baker, surgeon, deposed that he had examined the child, and there were no indications of its having died a violent death, whereupon a verdict was re turned by the jury according to the facts laid before them, and the child was buried. It seems that about three gion - hs ago the woman was committed to the Heuse of Correction fur a month for exposing her child near the Shear Bridge, at Brad ford, and that after her liberation, on the 7th of August last, she and her husband went to lodge at a common lode lug-house kept by one Mary Sanderson, in Bowling. They had with them a boy about six years old and the above-named child. The husband was employed by Mr. Laycock, of Bradford, in haymaking, at Apperley Bridge. On Saturday evening, the 18 , 11 of August. the woman went to Mr. Mainwaring, surgeon and druggist, Bowling, and bought a quantity of Godfrey's cordial, and on her return gave the child, notwithstanding the strong expostulations of Mrs. Sanderson, a table-spoonful or two of the cordial. She afterwards went into a neighbour's house, and gave it some more. The child fell asleep, and awoke no more. The next morning the Irish woman and her husband went away, she taking the dead body . of the child under her shawl. They stated that they would goto Leeds, When where they had some relatives who would bu r y the child. information reached Bowling that a child had been found, it ad was immediately suspected that this child was h T constable m o e f a ho"'- been taken away by the Irish woman. ling caioe to Leeds, and had the child x Bowling, where it. was identified by Mrs. e humed and taken to Sanderson by a mark on its hip, as the child taken from her house by the Irish woman. The constable subsequently succeeded in apprehend ing the woman and her husband, and they were brought up on Monday, when the above facts were . detailed in evidenc e , an d prisonerstadheduce, remanded till Wednesday, when no evidenc e b e i ng adduced that the cordial was administered with the intention of causing death, they were discharged. It was, however, stated that the quantity of cordial given to the child was sufficient to poison two or three of its age.—Leeds Inielligencer. KEswlcK.—The beautiful little town of Keswick still continues to be crowded with fashionable visitors, and during the whole of last week the inns presented a scene of considerable bustle and animation—all being entirely filled with company Indeed, so crowded was the town about a week back, that on Lord Brougham's arrival no accommoda tion could ise found at the inns, and his Lordship was compelled t o take up hi s quarters for the night a t p r i vate l odgings, which were likewise difficult to obtain. Amongst other worthies of note now on a visit to Keswick is the celebrated Joseph Hume, where he has been for the last few days, accompanied by his w if e and daughter. No one ever remembers having seen so many visitors at the Lakes before at so late a period of the sea son ; but this may be readily accounted for by the fine weather which we have lately experienced, and which, indeed, has been the only heather we have had this season calculated to make a v isit to the Lakes either interesting or agreeable.—Kendal Mercury. POLICE INTELLIGENcE t uteri; `UV 7 .1 7RD , EL\ brought up in the custody of Parker, 106, and While, 46 G division, charged by Mr. John Souter, builder, Aylesbury street, Clerkenwell, with the following daring assault and at tempted robbery. The prisoner was also charged by Parker, the policeman, with a murderous assault upon him. Mr. Souter, on Sunday night last, about twelve o'clock, wa3 returning to his residence from the City, and on his arrival in West. street, Smithfield. the prisoner came ty to him, r.nd t,itbout the least provocation gave him a trernendeu- blow en the head, h:ch knocked hini down, and nearly stu-ned and he was about to use more violence, when with, out " Murder, police," and the prisoner ran off with all po,- sible sp ed towards Field-lane, Holborn, when he was pur sued by the policeman, Parker, whom he violently assaulted, and for a short time escaped, but was ultimately taken into custody. Parker, No. 100 G, on Jicaring the cries of " Murder, and police," proceeded towards the spot, when he saw the prisoner running down Field-lane. He pursued him, when the prise Ler turned round, and with some heavy hist' ument gave him a tremendous blow upon the head, which cut his hat through, and inflicted a desperate wound on his head, and rendered him insensible. The prisoner made his escape, but was eventually apprehended in a notorious receptacle for thieves in West-st.t.eet. White. No. 46 G division, corrobon,ted this ,evidence, and added that the prisoner was connected wiat a notorious gang, and was known by the cognomen of Black Bill, in consequenco of the darkness of his complexion. _ _ _ The prisoner, who is a desperate-looking ruffian, denied the assaults, saying that he did not live in the house in West street ; if he did it was very unlikely that he would have re turned to the house after committing such assaults as those described. Mr. WITHAM ordered him to put in good bail. and to give 48 hours' notice of it, in order that its re , ponsibility might be inquired into. The whole of the witnesses were bound over to appear at the sessions to prosecute the prisoner. Mr. Cooper Abel, broker, of Cromer -street, St. Pancras, was brought before 141 r. WITHAM, charged by Mr. Andrew Bowyer, bookseller and stationer, of No. 21, Sidmouth-street, Gray's Inn-road, with forcibly breaking and entering his dwell ing-house. The prosecutor stated that on Wednesday morn ing last the prisoner came to his house and commenced breaking open his shutters with a chisel,, and a gang of tuf fians, one of whom was a pickpocket, entered the house by a ladder, through the windows, to the great terror of his mo ther, who was in the house, and a mob was caused to assemble in the street. A solicitor for the defendant said that it was a question as to the right of possession, and his client, who was a broker, had nothing to do with the matter in the slighted degree, ex cept th‘t there was a distress in the house for a quarter's rent, and he was engaged by the landlord, a Mr. Dobeny, to exe cute his warrant. Mr. WITHAM—That may be, but a brok r has no right to break into anybody's house. William Bowyer, brother to the last witness, saw the pri. soner with an instrument in his hand, and he put it between the bar and the shutters, and forced them two or three times. He then went away, and another man forced opal the shutters. The warrant was produced, which was directed to Mr. Bowyer, and s'gne.l by Mr. Kirk. of Camden-town. Mr. Msllett said that a short time ago the landlord of the above h. us • applied at this ..fliee to get possession. Mr. WITHAM said that Kirk was the person who ought to have been brought forward, and not Mr. Abel, and he dis charged him, intimating that the law did not jthtify the party in making a forcible entry. Mr. Bowyer and his mother were now charged by Mr. Do beny. the landlord of the house, with an assault. Mr. Dobeny, on Sunday the 24th of June, having heard that some damage had been done to the house, called there when Mrs. Bowyer opened the door. She seized hold of him and called out " Alfred," when her son made his appearance, and exclaimed, " You old —, I will cut you to pieces," and his fists came against his face, and witness fell down. Mr. WITHAM—Did he strike you ? Witness—His fists only rubbed down my face. Mr. WITHAM—Then, I suppose, you fell down to avoid ♦io. lence ? Witness—l suppose so,—( A laugh.) Mrs. Bowyer pushed me out. Mr. WITHAM said complainant might indict Mr. Bowyer if he thought proper, and he would order him to find bail, but he would discharge Mrs. Bowyer. Mr. Bowyer was then locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr Jolley, a shoemaker in Ryder's-court, was brought from his business, beftne Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. r::ONANT, to answer the - complaint of a little boy named Mackenzie, the son of a policeman of the C divid.on. The little boy was passing Mr. Jolley's shop on Friday afternoon, when he was suddenly soaked with water thrown over him by the defendant. Mr. Jolley gave the bench to understand that the residents of Ryder's• court were such staunch " Anti- Malthusians" that it was perfectly astonishing to see the swarms of children which each house poured forth of an evening. Ryder's court was constantly in a racket owing to the incessant clamour raised by peg-top, lag-last, follow my leader, jump a little nag-toil, and other noisy recreations so much in vogue amongst the newly-breeched members of the rising generation. Such was the uproar which these urchins created, that he was lite rally unable even to hear himself hammer upon his own lap_ stone. This, however, was not the most provoking part of the aff 'lr. Somehow or another he had managed to draw the attention of the noisy youngsters upon himself, so that when ever they passed his shop, they would suddenly halt, and one of the boldest would vociferate— " Cobbler, cobbler, mending shoe;" to which his companions always responded the rhyming chorus of " Waxy, Waxy, how are you ?" Threats of s'rapping, welting, and tanning the hides of the Lilliputian assailants having had no effect, he seized on Friday last his sprinkling-pot, and divided the contents amongst them. The complainant being the nearest, of course got the largest potion of the liquid donation. Mr. CIIAMBERS—Why, really, Mr. Policeman, I don't think you have shown much wisdcm in bringing th's case here. It is makin:.; the police office a perfect farce, especially when a war rant is obtained for such a trumpery matter. The little boy WAS not one of the group, who chose to be vocal before Mr. Jolley's shop. He was merely passing by at the time, and had been singltd out by Mr. Jolley, who enter tained a spite against him. The s'ster of Mr. Jolley declared that the complainant was one of the noisest of the lot. She did not see him at the time, but she certainly heard him call out the offensive words just before her brother took hold of the watering pot to dispel se them. The father of the little boy pronounced his son to be a pat tern of propriety in all matters relating to good conduct. A neigbour came forward and asserted that there was not such another little nuisance in the neighbourhood. The little boy was the ringleader of the others, and the promoter of the attacks on Mr. Jolley. As some proof of the boy's general good behaviour, he had frequently seen him stand in the court with a mop stick, and whenever another b 'y came by he would bestow a whack on him with all his might, and then run into the Boise. Mr. CHAMBERS said if he were a tradesman, and a parcel of boys came round his situp and hindered his business in the way described by the del:indent, he should give them a thump on the head a piece. The Bench were for fining Mr. Jolley Is. and costs. Mr. Jolley thought the decision very odd. He had just been advised to thump the head of the boys who molested him, but he had thought it best not to commit an assault, and had used the sprinkling pot for that very reason. The fine was withdrawn and the costs were only inflicted. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Thomas Biggs, a well-dressed young man, of very genteel apeearanee, was charged before Mr. Hoskins with having embt zzled the sum of 1501., the property of Charles Louis Stanislaus Baron Heurteloup, a foreign phy sician of repute, residing at 42, Queen Ann -street, Caven dish-square. Mr. CHARLES Pitmen, for the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner had been in the service of the Baron for a number of years as principal clerk. It was a situation of great trust, and large sums of rroney passed continually through the pri soner's hands, and it was not until recently that i' had been discovered that he had applied most of this money to his own use. Although he was at present charged with embezzling the specific sum of 1501. only, there were good reasons for believing that he had received other heavy sums of money on the Baron's account which he had not paid over to him, but he was not prepared with evidence in the latter case, in consequence of the shortness of the time, the prisoner who had absconded having only been apprehended on the previous day. With respect to the specific charge, the facts were briefly these—the Baron became indebted to Dr. White, the eminent surgeon, of Parliament -street, Westminster, in the sum of 8001. The Baron paid 500/. on a ccount , and some time afterwards the prisoner informed the Baron that he had seen Dr. White, who had pressed him for more money. In consequence of this representation he, in March last, drew a check for 150/. on his bankers, Messrs. Drummonds, which he gave to the prisoner, with dtrections to pa: it forthwith over to Dr. White on his account, and take an ackowledgment for the same. Soon afterwards the prisoner absconded, and upon inquiry it was ascertained that the prisoner after getting the check cashed had appropriated the proceeds to his own use, instead of doing as he was desired to do. The Baron deposed to the facts relative to the above by the Counsel. He had latterly, he said, been sojourning in France, and having but recently returned he had not yet had either time or opportunity to discover the actual extent of his loss. The prisoner denied the charge against him. The fact was, he said, that for the last six or seven years he had been continually mixed up with the pecuniary affairs of the Baron, and had often borrowed money for him on his own account. duly y h a a p d p b r o o r p r i cr a w t e e d d 1 t, 0 , 0 t / h . e i n Btabriosow,say use,of D i h t t a e t d o u t t h o a that w h r O, W w h h i i t le e' ab w r h o i a c d h , was a cont:nually importuning him for mone y . H he received the draught in qu estion, but asserted e adm t it he paid the 100/. which he had borrowed of Dr. White, and the 50/. residue he had exptnded on the Baron's household affairs. In conclusion, lie denied having absconded in con sequence of dishonesty, and it was his intention to have returned to the Baron's service, had he been permitted to do so. After some conversation between Mr. Phillips and Mr. Hoskins, the prisoner, who is said to be most respectably con• nected, was remanded to Thursday next. UNION-HALL.

Thomag Baker, aged 10 years, was charged with shooting a lad, named Pelford Lara, under the following distressing Circumstances : The father of the unfortunate deceased, who was about 14 years of age. and who liked in Austin-street, Shoreditch , stated, th.kt a b out th ree o'cluelt yesterday afternoon , he seat nis son out on a message. Upon his eturn he ibund that be was bleediNg profusely from one of his cycs. He took him to a doctor, who immediately said that he should be removed to an hospital. Witness then took him to St. Bartholomew s ,qespital, where one of the medical gentlemen found that a piece of wire had entered the eye, and had penetrated the brain His son, who was nearly insensible, gradually sunk. He was shortly after seized with fits, in which he continued till his death, which took place about five o'clock that morn ing. He understood from his son that he was shot from a pistol barrel, which had been fired off by the defendant. Mr. GROVE asked if the prisoner's father was present (who then stepped forward), when Mr. Grove observed to him that he must attribute such a fatal result to the effect of his son not having gone to church. The father said that he was sorry for the occurrence, and that his son had the powder and pistol unknown to him. The prisoner said that be put the wire in to make it give louder report. 4 He was remanded to await the result of a coroner's inquest. THA ME .3. OFFICE. Yesterday Johnez Rayment and Wilhelm Arnold, foreign seamen belonging to a Prussian ship in the St. Kathariiie'a Dock, were brought before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Green wood on a charge of smuggling tobacco and cigars. Wh;te, a Thames police surveyor, stated that on Saturday night he saw the prisoners leaving the Commercial Dock, Rotherbithe. He asked them if they had anything about them, and they said they had not, and were going away ' when be stopped them, and on searchin g R a y me nt he fours under his clothes, between his shirt and waistcoat, a box con taining one pound of cigars, and in his h a t th ree papers° foreign manufactured tobacco, weighi ng t wo p oun ds.

The prisoners eein they came from Memel. The broker of the ship, who acted as interpreter for the men, said he was instructed by them to say they were Teri sorry for what they had done. Mr. BALLANTINE said there was a good deal of steugglillF going on among foreign seamen, and he sentenced the Pr'" soners to pay a fine of 20a. each. The broker said the men could not pay it. They had To money. Mr. BALLANTINE said he could not help that.
